DIGITAL HEART. ANALOG SOUL.
---------------------------
It has been 40 years since the release of Yamaha's first
professional analog mixing console in 1972, the PM200. This year
also marks the 25th anniversary of the landmark release of our
first ever digital mixer, the DMP7. It is no mere coincidence
that, during this momentous occasion, we are introducing a
ground-breaking new product that represents a new paradigm for
compact professional mixing consoles: the MGP Series. Drawing
from our decades of experience crafting innovative, premium
analog gear, we originally developed our new discrete Class-A
microphone preamps for professional use in our high-end
equipment. Utilizing an inverted Darlington circuit design, our
newly-refined D-PRE mic preamps deliver a , rich, smooth tone
that gives the MGP Series a significant advantage over any other
mixer in its class. With Yamaha's proprietary X-pressive EQ we've
managed to capture ultimate analog authenticity by unlocking the
mysterious secret behind the expressive sound shaping
capabilities of sought-after classic EQ modules. At the heart of
the MGP's compact configuration, we've taken an innovative new
approach to the utilization of digital technology in an analog
mixer; adding high-resolution effects, iPod/iPhone integration
and the superb functionality of our new Stereo Hybrid Channel to
the warmth and musicality of premium analog sound. The MGP Series
represents the ultimate balance of the converging technologies
that are the heart and soul of Yamaha's extraordinary
achievements in professional audio.

D-PRE AND X-PRESSUIVE EQ
------------------------
The preamp is where sound creation begins, and ultimately
determines the character and quality of your overall mix. The
importance of this critical first step inspired us to develop the
most and warm sounding preamps possible—our newly refined
D-PRE mic preamps. Initially intended for use with Yamaha's
high-end gear, these studio-grade, discrete Class-A mic
preamps employ an inverted Darlington circuit design that
features multiple circuitry elements in a multi-layered
configuration in order to deliver more power with lower
impedance. This means all the character, depth and feel of your
original signal will be delivered with , natural sounding bass
and smooth, soaring highs. Rediscover a favourite mic or trusted
instrument by capturing the full range of your musical expression
with sound that you don't hear, so much as feel. With 48V phantom
power for each channel and a sound that is incomparable in a
compact mixer today, these studio-grade discrete Class-A mic
preamps set the MGP apart, clearly defining a class all its own.
Everyone knows vintage EQ sounds great—but not everyone knows
why. Throughout the development of the innovative VCM (Virtual
Circuit Modeling) effects used in our high-end professional
digital mixers, we became increasingly focused on reproducing the
warmth and musicality of classic vintage EQs. It was through our
precise modeling of the original circuitry of some of the most
sought-after EQ modules from the past that we discovered a
characteristic “X-shape” of the frequency curves that was unique
to these units— and would ultimately prove essential to unlocking
real vintage authenticity. More than just a means of tweaking
your mix, the precise response and very steep shelving of the
high and low frequencies make the X-pressive EQ a powerful
sound-shaping tool that essentially redefines the role that EQ
plays in sound reinforcement. Never before has an audio
engineer's contribution to the overall sound been so significant,
with X-pressive EQ providing complete control of every aspect of
your sonic palette.

PREMIUM COMPONENTS
------------------
Originally a Yamaha innovation, 1-knob compression is now a
popular feature on an increasing number of compact mixing
consoles with good reason. These intelligent compressors add
optimally set compression to a wide variety of input sources with
the touch of a single control—minus the hassle of setting up and
configuring complex outboard gear. The MGP features our newly
upgraded 1-knob compressors that feature LED indicators allowing
you to visually monitor when the compression “kicks in” on each
channel.
Durability is simply not an issue with the MGP. With a rugged,
impact-resistant, powder-coated steel chassis, the MGP is more
than ready for the rigours of road abuse. The sleek design of the
chassis is contoured for optimal convection cooling, further
extending the lifetime of the components inside, while the
internal layout separates the power supply from the analog
circuitry for superior noise reduction. What's more, knob control
placement above the surface of the chassis ensures that any
impact or pressure on the knobs will be absorbed by the chassis
and not the circuit board or potentiometers underneath.
